I try my best to automate as much as I can to set up my Macs for development work.

Installation

(Mostly taken from @geerlingguy 's Mac Development Ansible Playbook as pointed out inthe Credits section)

  1. Ensure Apple's command line tools are installed (xcode-select --install to launch the installer).
  2. Install Ansible:
  3. Run the following command to add Python 3 to your $PATH: export PATH="$HOME/Library/Python/3.9/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH"
    • Note: The version of Python might change when you are running the script. Check the output of python3 --version for your Python 3's major and minor version numbers, i.e. 3.9 in this command.
  4. Upgrade Pip: sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip
  5. Install Ansible: pip3 install ansible
  6. Clone or download this repository.
  7. Run ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml inside this directory to install required Ansible roles..
  8. Run ansible-playbook main.yml --ask-become-pass inside this directory. Enter your macOS account password when prompted for the 'BECOME' password.

Note: If some Homebrew commands fail, you might need to agree to Xcode's license or fix some other Brew issue. Run brew doctor to see if this is the case.
